1 When Jesus finished teaching, he left Galilee and went to the part of Judea that is east of the River Jordan.
2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed their sick people.
3 Some Pharisees wanted to test Jesus. They came up to him and asked, “Is it right for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?”
4 Jesus answered, “Don't you know that in the beginning the Creator made a man and a woman?
5 That's why a man leaves his father and mother and gets married. He becomes like one person with his wife.
